Mapping the classes of rural environmental registration (CAR) in family and non-family rural properties in places and groups of alto Jequitinhonha-MG

Abstract

With the advancement of information technology and the advent of geotechnologies, the greater the number of global, regional and local information, the greater the possibility of successful planning. This article aimed to superimpose information from rural properties, areas of preserved vegetation and springs in areas of family and non-family agriculture, in the region of the Alto Jequitinhonha Chapadas and Grotas, using as a database the information provided by SICAR (National System of the Rural Environmental Registry), IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and topographic information provided by SRTM. For processing the information, ArcGis 10.3 geoprocessing software was used. The information was overlapped using the software's own tools. It was possible that the region of Alto Jequitinhonha is a region of traditional and numerous family farming, where the relief formed by chapadas and grotas determined the different processes of occupation and use of the soils in the region. The arrival of large enterprises, mainly the reforestation with eucalyptus, altered dramatically the dynamics of the region, from the data s of the CAR it was possible to observe changes in the use and possession of land, water resources and native vegetation.
